Recovery run w/ 6 x 100 m strides. 5:06 am, 31°F, 26% humidity, winds calm and then 10-15 W. Well, I didn't have to struggle with deciding whether to wear shorts or pants this morning. The cold weather has arrived, but no precipitation yet. I was thinking during the first part of my run this morning that it wasn't too bad because it wasn't windy like it's been all week, but about the time I got to the track to do the strides, the wind started up in a big way and I had to contend with it for the rest of my run. On the strides, the odd numbered strides were into the wind and I had the wind behind me on the the even numbered strides. Aside from the strides, I really put the slow in recovery this morning. Splits before the strides: 10:47, 10:46, 10:34, 10:35, 0.66 @ 10:33.
Paces on the strides: 7:00, 7:14, 8:07, 7:12, 7:42, 6:55.
Splits after the strides: 10:19, 0.70 @ 10:04. I got home just in time to drive to seminary only to find out that the boy was skipping seminary to finish a school project. (He has really good seminary attendance, so I let him skip from time to time when he needs to.) I wish I had known last night that he wasn't going to seminary today. I would have slept a little later. It sure was tough getting out of bed this morning.
